The opensource AI model HunyuanPortrait, developed by Tencent, uses a diffusionbased condition control technique to animate still portrait photos. The model ensures believable animation by applying head motions and facial expressions from a reference video to a still image. HunyuanPortrait is based on the Stable Diffusion architecture, which separates identity and motion. It improves temporal consistency and spatial accuracy by injecting control signals through a denoising UNet. Tencent has made the model accessible to Hugging Face and GitHub, enabling academics to investigate its potential for noncommercial and scholarly purposes. By eliminating the need for motion capture devices and human keyframing, the technology has the potential to completely transform animation and filmmaking. Read More..

Ghana has accelerated its debt sustainability goal by reducing its total debt by 150 billion cedis in just five months, according to President John Mahama. Citing falling cocoa and oil prices as well as IMF estimates that foresee depreciation, analysts caution that the rally might not endure. The central bank credits gains to robust remittance flows and cleaner foreign exchange auctions, but denies using foreign reserves to bolster the cedi. Read More..
